Chapter 925 Return to the Village 3
Hearing everyone’s comments, Shen Mianmian frowned and said, "She’s not my mother, our relationship was severed long ago, and her hukou was transferred away."
Hearing her say this, an older elder immediately responded, "Young lady, you shouldn’t speak like that. No matter how they treated you back then, the fact that they raised you is true. Without them, where would you be today? You can’t just forget about them once you’re doing well."
"Exactly, Mianmian, now that you’re doing well, you can’t forget your roots! Your father is sick now and needs care, being born doesn’t weigh as much as being raised, you must acknowledge this grace."
"All that happened years ago, why are you still holding a grudge?"
"If you don’t care for him, all the years of your education would have been in vain."
Listening to these words, He Nan furrowed his brow, and Xiaocui was also finding it hard to listen.
Had they all forgotten the suffering Mianmian endured back then?
Shen Mianmian looked at the people who were talking with a hint of a cold smile on her lips. They spoke lightly about matters that did not happen to them.
When she was suffering, all these people had shut their doors and lived their lives, not one stood up to speak for her. Now that she had improved her circumstances and the Shen family had fallen on hard times, they stood on a moral high ground, advising her to be magnanimous.
She glanced at them and her gaze fixed on the first elder who had spoken, she said indifferently, "Grandpa Chen, what you’re saying is right, one indeed should not forget one’s roots, especially since they raised me for over a decade. I should indeed let bygones be bygones, otherwise, I would be ungrateful and immoral."
Thinking Shen Mianmian was admitting her mistake, Grandpa Chen’s face showed a hint of pride in successfully schooling someone. He was about to continue when suddenly Shen Mianmian’s tone shifted and she said with a sharp voice.
